Personally I would love to see them have to deliver all the gen1 asics.
This just reads as another attempt to scrap the gen1 and rush into gen2 (which I assume they will be mining on to increase profit) so the cloud begins to lift over them and new bitcoin entrants can be sucked in.
I sure hope everyone keeps their gen1 asic's hashing.
Mainly for the good of the network but also so we see them begin to fail and bfl attempt to meet their "lifetime warranty".
The one reason I wanted my Jalapeno was to have it for sentimental reasons mostly. (Saying I paid 600 bucks for that thing with taxes, had to wait many months and it made me .5 BTC, etc.) It was the customs tax I couldn't deal with though. It won't be long that I can get one on Ebay for less than 100 bucks anyway, so I will probably have my sentimental Jalapeno at some point in time.
LOL at the KY Jelly suggestion guys. What a great great plan. LOL
It needs it's own thread. Really. What shall we call it?
